Ghanaian super-producer Hammer of The Last Two makes a commanding return with “The Boys,” a hard-hitting new single that unites three of the country’s most influential rappers—Joey B, Sarkodie, and Medikal. The track marks the first official release from Hammer’s highly anticipated 20-track Upper Echelons album, a project already positioned as one of his most ambitious creations to date.
“The Boys” is a bold celebration of street culture, confidence, and the evolution of Ghanaian rap. Hammer’s signature production style—rich, layered, and unmistakably Ghanaian—creates the perfect backdrop for each artist to deliver their own brand of lyrical fire. Joey B sets the tone with his smooth, effortless cool; Sarkodie steps in with razor-sharp precision, reminding listeners why he remains an undisputed heavyweight; and Medikal brings high-energy swagger with a verse that cuts through the beat with authority.
As excitement builds around the Upper Echelons project, this introductory single sends a clear message: Hammer is back, and he’s coming with a legacy-defining body of work that honours Ghana’s hip-hop roots while pushing the culture forward.
